Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel

The hotel is located at 360 North Rodeo Drive, the main street of the City of Beverly Hills, between Brighton Way and Dayton Way.[1]

The hotel was established in 1993 by Efrem Harkham as part of Luxe Hotels, an entity of three hotels in Los Angeles County.[2] It has 88 rooms, designed by Vicente Wolf, a Cuban-born interior designer from New York City.[1] The hotel is home to a restaurant called On Rodeo Bistro & Lounge.[3][4] The chef is David Padilla.[4]

The hotel hosts many philanthropic events. For example, the annual Apple Ball for the Beverly Hills Education Foundation takes place there.[5] Moreover, the hotel partnered with the Guittard Chocolate Company to create a cake in the shape of the Beverly Hills City Hall for the centennial block party, which took place on April 27, 2014.[6]

On December 1, 2014, Beverly Hills Police Department officers fired gunshots in the hotel lobby at a suspect shortly after a robbery at the Bank of America branch on Beverly Drive.[7][8][9][10] As a result, traffic on Rodeo Drive was shut down for the rest of the day.[11]

The hotel has been home to a monthly art exhibit since March 2015.[12] The first exhibit featured Karen Lee Fisher, an artist from Beverly Hills.[12]

It was the recipient of the Beverly Hills 2013 Golden Palm for community service.[6] A year later, it was the recipient of an AAA Four-Diamond rating.[13]
